¹ For euery high Priest taken from among men, is ordeined for men in things pertaining to God, that hee may offer both giftes & sacrifices for sins.

² Who can haue compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way, for that he himselfe also is compassed with infirmitie.

³ And by reason heereof hee ought as for the people, so also for himselfe, to offer for sinnes.

⁴ And no man taketh this honour vnto himselfe, but hee that is called of God, as was Aaron.

⁵ So also, Christ glorified not himselfe, to bee made an High Priest: but hee that saide vnto him, Thou art my Sonne, to day haue I begotten thee.

⁶ As he saith also in another place, Thou art a Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec.

⁷ Who in the dayes of his flesh, when hee had offered vp prayers and supplications, with strong crying and teares, vnto him that was able to saue him from death, and was heard, in that he feared.

⁸ Though hee were a Sonne, yet learned hee obedience, by the things which he suffered:

⁹ And being made perfect, he became the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him,

¹⁰ Called of God an high Priest after the order of Melchisedec:

¹¹ Of whom we haue many things to say, and hard to be vttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

¹² For when for the time yee ought to bee teachers, yee haue neede that one teach you againe which be the first principles of the Oracles of God, and are become such as haue need of milke, and not of strong meat.

¹³ For euery one that vseth milke, is vnskilful in the word of righteousnes: for he is a babe.

¹⁴ But strong meate belongeth to them that are of full age, euen those who by reason of vse haue their senses exercised to discerne both good and euil.

TILAK CHANDRA SEKARAN's Hebrews Chapter 5 comment about verse 14 on 3/16/2013, 3:43am...

I agree with People's bible Notes. Here the age doees not pertain to that of biological, but that of mind and the wisdom level. Only the matured mind can understand the deeper truths in Bible and conver that knowledge to it's and the benifit of the brotherhood.

So the spirit world can be understood in Christ's perception only by an enlightened soul.

Verses 12-14 have a heading spiritual immaturity in the New King James. The bible is clearly saying when we are saved and reborn, we have a lot to learn from the oracles of God also known as the torah or the Old Testament. So, anyone thinking that the new covenant did away with the 10 commandments needs to read Acts 21:24, John 10:15, 2 Timothy 3:15-16, 2 Peter 1:20, Mark 2:28, Mathew 7:21-23, Mark 7:6-9. At the time of the oracles or scriptures mentions, there was no New Testament. The only law nailed to the cross is Sacrificial and Ceremonial. The Moral Law (10 commandments) were written in stone because they are forever. John 14:10 says if ye love me keep my commandments. So why would he make them void after saying this? Would Jesus really say it's ok to have false gods? Kill, steal, commit adultery, bear false witness? That what doing away the OLD LAW means. The new covenant is no animal sacrifice or circumcision and other ceremonial law and tempering the moral laws and scriptural doctrine with love and compassion. Something the Pharisees lacked. That’s why he called their teaching bad leaven, or leaven to be avoided.

Mel-chis'e-dec who is without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God. Mel-chis'e-dec was God and what the writer is saying here that the Hebrews here knew the Law but didn't understand the Law therefore their understanding was that of a child and not that of an adult.

Chidinma's Hebrews Chapter 5 comment on 12/17/2012, 9:27am...

This chapter tells that Christ our saviour did a wonderful work for us (mankind) in the salvation and redemption of man from sin; even though He came spotless. Judging from the two chapters of Hebrews chapters 5 and 7, the two priests from Judah are priests that reign forever, (powerful) but there's a big difference between them. I think Melchizedek wouldn’t have saved us (done it perfectly well) even though in Hebrews 7:7, He blesses Abraham but He never had human feelings (wasn’t given birth to). Considering that fact as it was recorded in Genesis that Man kept on sinning against God, continually even after our sacrifice to God, He wouldn’t have had pity on us but Jesus did it. Another lesson from this chapter is that we got to equip ourselves with de word of God, so as not to be a victim in de hands of de devil. I praise you Redeemer.

Merwin Krish's Hebrews Chapter 5 comment on 10/19/2012, 1:20pm...

My dear brothers and sisters, let us have a look from the prompt.. JESUS is of the tribe of Judah in Genesis 49:10, Micah 5:2, Matthew 2:6. He is Melchizedek in Hebrews 7 (Genesis 14:18). What does it mean? Read Hebrews 7:2, he is a priest without being from the tribe of Levi.. but if you count any priest in the bible, all are by the tribe of Levi.. So what is the link in between Psalms 110:4 and Hebrews 5:10... both didn't come from the tribe of Levi. Therefore what should be the consequence? Read Hebrews 7:11-18.. So we should be aware of this simple oracle.. as in Hebrews 5:12.

Rebecca's Hebrews Chapter 5 comment on 5/25/2012, 11:12am...

As the high priest was ordained to offer sacrifices to God and for himself in Old Testament times, Hebrews Chapter 5 also enjoins all to get immersed in the Word so that we can graduate from being a suckling (needing milk, and therefore, unskilfull in the word of righteousness - verse 13), to someone chewing meet (which belongeth to them that are full of age, and with senses to discern between good and evil - verse 14). Today, we may not have High Priests like in the Old Testament days, the idea here is that if the word of God is deeply rooted in us, then, perhaps we also become priests too, according to the order of Melchisedek of old...

THANK YOU JESUS for YOUR SACRIFICE!YOU are LORD!

Joe's Hebrews Chapter 5 comment on 1/30/2012, 1:02pm...

As in Old testament times, the high priest who was human, not only offered up sin sacrifces for the people, but for himself. Christ, our high priest was without sin being made perfect, and offered up himself for our sins, he is the spotless, passover lamb of God, having no blemishes.
He is our mediator, intercessor, pleading with God on our behalf, he knew what it was like to be human, to be hungry, thirsty, tired and tempted, ...for he was tempted on all points as we are, with the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and pride of life, ....tempted, but without sin, unto the death!
He is the Alpha and Omega, the Author and finisher of our faith and being the high priest in the order of Melchesadec, he is a high priest in the orderof the King of Righteousnes!
